Comment: I have OA and a bulging disc in my lower back. I find medication helps keep my pain under control during the night. I only take it when needed and never if I am going to be driving or need to be alert. This along with daily exercises keep me active.

Comment: Extreme arm and shoulder pain and down into fingers. Unknown etiology as I woke up with it. X-rays show possible cervical link. Do not do well with meds! But, I was one handed that day! Given this plus nabumetone for inflammation. So, I let me be bullied and took with food both meds. I was knocked out! They did indeed improve arm. But my stomache and digestive are damaged!

Comment:Extreme arm and shoulder pain and down into fingers. Unknown etiology as I woke up with it. X-rays show possible cervical link. Do not do well with meds! But, I was one handed that day! Given this plus nabumetone for inflammation. So, I let me be bullied and took with food both meds. I was knocked out! They did indeed improve arm. But my stomache and digestive are damaged! I had so much pain, horrible bathroom trips and fever and chills. Was dizzy to start out with and tons of nausea. So, I was asleep or sick and crying. Hell of a way to get better! Stopped this and kept nabumetone. Spent the night up horribly sick, but definitely slightly better with tired part. So, please be careful with this! I am a stomache, woozy pill taker... But, this one stopped me in my tracks and food I think made it worse than better as I HAD TO THEN EMPTY my stomach to get pain to stop to rest and get out of the blasted bathroom! Yuk!

Comment: I have severe, crippling lower back spasms which hit once or twice a year, this calms them. Drawback is that it hits me like a ton of bricks, but I just take it when I can sleep and not have to be out and about. That's the reason I docked 1 star off "Ease of use", but I also have a very low tolerance for drowsiness effects in Rx meds.
